The head coaches of Albany State's men's
and women's cross country teams couldn't
have more different philosophies about
Saturday's Capital District meet.
Men's coach Bob Munsey claimed that
winning the meet is not a priority. "We're
just running through this meet," said
Munsey. "This is more of a workout-type of
meet; we're really not taking it that
seriously."
Coming off a strong second place finish at
the SUNYAC championship, the men will be
facing four-time defending champion Siena,
RPI, and Union. Siena, a Division I school,
is a strong fa'vorite to repeat, based on their
victory at the LcMoync Invitational, a meet
that involved several strong schools.
Coach Munscy has never seen Siena run
this year; how good they are is a mystery to
him. The incentive to beat Siena really Isn't
there for Munscy. His game plan would be to
stick with the RPI runners. But not
everybody lucks an incentive.
Leading runner Ed McGill, who was
bothered by a cold in last week's championship meet, has two reasons for wanting to do
well. "I don't like Siena or Union," said
McGill, "so I really would like to beat
them." On a more personal level, McGill is
trying to redeem himself after a disappointing 24th place finish last week. "I'm a firm
believer in the saying, 'you're only as good as
your last race,' so I'm looking to come back
strongly," commented McGill. Last week his
cold hampered his ability to pass other runners; though still sick, McGill will be closer to
full strength this week.
RPI also presents a challenge to Albany.
"It should be an interesting battle between
RPI and ourselves," said Coach Munscy.
"They'll be very competitive with their first
three runners, but 1 think that we can beat

them this year." Albany finished third
behind Siena and RPI last year.
Munscy wasn't too concerned about
Union. "1 don't think that they're on the
same level as we are this year,"he noted.
Union was overwhelmed by RPI earlier this
year.
Despite Munsey's indifference towards the
Capital District meet, co-captain Jim Erwin
insisted that he won't take this meet lightly.
"I want to see if we can run with Siena," said
Erwin. "The meet will be held on our home
course, which should be to our benefit." The
last few years, the meet was held at a neutral

site.
Being a Division I school gives Siena certain advantages over a school like Albany
State. Some of these advantages aren't that
ethical, according to the coach. "I'm sure
that athletic prowess isn't overlooked when
financial aid is given out at a Division I
school," said Munsey. "Regardless of what
is said, I'm sure that these schools engage in
such a fashion."
The men will be concentrating on later
meets, rather than going all out here. To
Munsey, the Capital District meet is nothing
more than a timed workout. "With all the
big meets coming up, this meet just isn't that
important to us," noted Munscy. "It comes
along at a very awkward time for us,"
In sharp contrast with Munsey's views,
women's coach Ron White has been keying
his team for this meet for some time now.
"I've been talking Capital District since
September," stated the coach. "This is the
meet that all the girls have been waiting for."
White senses the mental readiness of the
women; they know that a victory here could
spell a turnaround for their thus far winless
season.
The meet also has some extrinsic worth to
Coach White; this weekend's performance
will determine which seven runners will go on
to the postseason events. The women that
don't make the top seven will represent
Albany in their Albany Invitational.
To repeat as champions, the runners would
have to defeat their main competition, RPI.
Albany lost to RPI 24 to 34 in an earlier meet
held at Hamilton; the women will be looking
to redeem themselves here. "RPI is a very
tight running team, "commented White.
"They pack five runners within a minute;
we'll have to break that up. The girls will be
trying to position themselves with RPI's runners to do just that. The physical contact that
will go on is very important; the times don't

for survivors
Beirut, Lebanon
(AP) About 300 Marine reinforcements
began their new duties in Beirut today as
rescuers dug out four more bodies from the
bombed U.S. command post, pushing the
overall American death toll to nearly 200.
Marine spokesman Maj. Robert Jordan
told reporters the new contingent of Marines
arrived at Beirut's airport from Europe on
Monday night to replace those killed and
wounded in Sunday's suicide terrorist truckbombing of the Marines' headquarters.
Rescuers prepare to lower a Marine on a stretcher down to safety
About 200 soldiers were killed in the terrorist bombing.
Rescuers searched through the rubble for a
third straight day and four bodies were pulled
out this morning, zipped into olive green
nylon hags, put on a jeep and driven away.
Bulldozers and cranes provided by the
Lebanese government and private firms In
Beirut worked under spotlights thoughout
the night and into the morning at the
Marines' airport zone and at another truckbombed post of the French peace-keeping
force about a mile away at Beirut's scafront.
Lance Cpl. Robert Calhoun, 21, of San
Antonio, Texas, said he was told by a Marine
sentry who survived the blast that the suicide
terrorist was wearing green fatigues and smiled as he roared towards the building. The
bombing at the French post was staged in a
similar fashion.
The Marine commander in Beirut, Col.
Timothy Gcraghty, was asked at a news conference Monday whether stringent security
measures could have foiled the two attacks.
Experts react to Lebanon tragedy
By Tuny Sillier
NEWS EDITOR
The question of the U.S. marine presence
in Lebanon and what the nation should do
now in the wake of Sunday's slaughter
brought widely differing reactions from local
government and foreign policy experts.
SUNYA Political Science Department
Chairman Martin Edclman said the marines
are in Lebanon as a tool of American foreign
policy — to exercise leverage in an important
part of the world. He added that he doubts
that Congress will force the President to
remove the marines.
Abdo I. Baaklini, Director of International Development Programs at the
Graduate School of Public Arfairs and a
specialist in Middle Eastern and Lebanese affairs, said President Reagan made a very unwise decision to put the marines in Lebanon
to fulfill a political role. "The sooner we
realize our marines arc not serving any purpose there, that they arc just largets, the better off we will be," he said.
According to Edclman, the three-week-old
compromise on the War Powers Resolution
between Congress and the President, when
Congress granted Reagan 18 additional months to keep the troops in Lebanon before a
reexamination, was the most significant legal
word on the policy. "In a formal way, they'll
stay there," he said, adding that the constitutionality of the resolution is in question since
the Supreme Court this summer declared
congressional vetoes unconstitutional.
Baaklini, however, said that although he
faults Congress for abandoning its nower in
the War Powers compromise, Congress and
the public are the critical factors in the policy
decisions in the wake of the bombings.
The difference between public opinion
following the Gulf of Tonkin incident, where
President Johnson received overwhelming
support, and this tragedy is extremely important, said Baaklini. The government is still
pursuing some policies and not garnering
from the past, but the public, judging from
reactions, seems much more aware, he
asserted.
"I hope the Congress and the media will
bring some sense into this situation," said
Baaklini.
According to Baaklini, the U.S. now has
two options. In the short term, he said, the
U.S. must make clear to the Gcmaycl regime
that it cannot count on it for protection for
long. The long term solution in both
Lebanon and the Middle East as a whole, he
said, is a resolution of the Palestinian problem.
The whole root of the tragedy, said
Baaklini, can be traced to U.S. attitudes
following the Israeli invasion of 1982.
Bashir and Amin Gcmayel were never seen
as legitimate leaders by other Lebanese, lie
asserted. Rather, they were seen as leaders of
an aristocratic minority installed in power at
the point of an Israeli bayonet.
"The U.S. made Gcmayel its man," he
said, "because he does what America and
Israel wanted." Instead of pushing for a true
national reconciliation, the U.S. supported
Gcmayel and attempted to legitimize the formula of the Lebanese Constitution, which
calls for a Christian President and a Moslem
Prime Minister, with other factions

The latest figures issued by the U.S.

Protesters arrested during Seneca Depot rally
By Lisa Mirubellu
More than 380 people, including eight
local residents, were arrested Monday for
blocking the gates of the Seneca Army
Depot. The civil disobedience was held after
Saturday's march and rally that brought
7,500 people to the upstate New York depot
that is believed to be storing Cruise and Pershing II missiles.
The attempted blockade had little effect on
depot operations because employees used
unblockaded gales to reach work, said Depot
spokesperson Robert Zemanek.
"As far as we know, all the ones who intended to work have come in," he said. The
depot has I,(XX) civilian workers, but
Zemanek said many did not come to work
because they were offered a liberal leave
policy for today if they wished to avoid the
protest.
Tile actions were part of world-wide events
protesting the deployment of nuclear missiles
and calling for a freeze on nuclear arms. Tom
Russell said, "There was a stress on the
solidarity between U.S. and European efforts."
The highlight of the rally was Women USA
chair, Bella Abzug who delivered a powerful
speech. Drea Leanza, a local organizer for
the Women's Peace Encampment, said of
Abzug, "Her speech was the most dynamic
one of the day. She put everything in a clear
perspective."
Other speakers included author Dr. Benjamin Spock and columnist Manning
Marable.
The Seneca Army Depot is the principal
East Coast storage facility of nuclear
weapons. The Pershing II missiles thought to
be stored there are especially objectionable to
the protesters because of their capacity to
reach Soviet targets six minutes after they are
launched,
According to Dirk llockstra, Disarmament Project Co-coordinator at NYPIRG,

of any military reaction.
Also, the missiles arc very small and If

Pay hikes considered
Albany
(AP) New York state lawmakers, fresh off
pay increases the past three years, will likely
consider a bill next month to further increase
legislative salaries, sources have told the
Associated Press.
One legislative source, who asked not to be
named, said Monday that a pay-raise bill effective in 198S is "in the works" and could
be considered when lawmakers return to
Ablany in mid-November for a short, special
session.
The 211 members of the state Assembly
and Senate currently have a base annual
salary of $32,900, although some make up to
$30,000 more once stipends for leadership
positions arc factored in.
The legislative source said thai "1 think
we're talking about $40,000" annually for a
new base salary.
The source said lawmakers may consider
making the salary jumps a "two- or threestage" affair, similar to a three-stage pay increase the lawmakers got the final Installment
on just this year.
That latest increase was approved by the
Legislature in 1979. Stale law prohibits
lawmakers, who are elected every two years,
from approving any raises for their current
term of office. That means that any new
salary increase approved by the Legislature
and Gov. Mario Cuomo couldn't go into effect before Jan. I, 1985, when the ncxlnewly
elected Legislature convenes.

The memo limits the amount of alcohol

one drink per person each hour.
The memo also requires requires partyholdcrs to "be sure . . . to refrigerate or

not old enough to drink alcoholic beverages.
The area coordinator for Colonial and
Slate quads, Howard Woodruff, said the
"overall intent of the special function policy
is to give information to students as to how
they can use facilities." It is a "compilation
of the special function policy as it existed in
the past and new information based on a
review of campus alcohol policy," he added.
Radko said Ihe "policy itself doesn't
clarify the interim guidelines, (it) deals with
facility reservation and management
guidelines." She said Ihe policy "expands on
information available and is a consistent
departmental policy" that applies to all
quads. The fact trial the special function

Martonc was unavailable for comment.
The Office of Residential Life recently
released a policy statement that Student
Association Vice President Jeff Schneider
said significantly clarifies the interim alcohol
guidelines released at the beginning of the
semester. The policy will go into effect October 31.
Schneider described Ihe policy as "an additional report to RA's." He said the policy
was released as a result of his meeting with
Director of Residential Life Johiv Martonc
and Assistant Director Liz Radko three times
a week for several weeks. Schneider said that
now, "lounge parties are fine when they're
reasonable" If a special function I'm in is filed

Schneider said that another result of the
meetings was if a function is denied and the
reasons for the denial are not understood, the

clarification.
The SA vice president said that he would

Supporters, critics face off over NY Bond issue
tation Authority announced support of the
bond issue in a press release, October 18.
"The Authority is strongly in favor of the
passage of the bond issue. It would provide
over three million dollars to rebuild roads
and bridges in the Capital District and It
would also assure funds to replace worn out
buses," according to CDTA Chairman
Robert O. Lyman. The CDTA also stated
that support is in order for the bond because
it would provide an anticipated 36,000 new
jobs over a five year period.
Some local and state incidents have recently ocurrcd that have indicated a need to
overhaul the Infrastructure, including;
—A water main break and electrical fire in
Manhattan over Ihe summer cut power to the
Garment District.
—A Connecticut Turnpike bridge spanning
the Mianus River collapsed (his summer causing motorist fatalities.
—A water pipe rupture In Schenectady caused extensive flooding of part of that city.
—A section of Washington Avenue in
Albany In front of the Capitol collapsed
recently leaving a large gaping hole in the
middle of the busy thrououghfare.
Criticism aimed at Ihe bond issue also includes complaints that in two past refcrendums approved by the voters; a 1977, $250M
bond issue and a 1979, $500M bond issue;
only pari of the available monies were actually spent. But, according to Baker, the
Dcparlmcnt of Transportation is still fully
eommiltcd to these projects and the projects
are not finished. "Some of this money we
can not spend until the Federal Funds are

In an attempt to repair the state's
deteriorating infrastructure.-Governor Mario
Cuomo has proposed a $1,251) "Rebuild
New York" bond that will face the voters in
the November 8 general election.
Voters will be asked to decide whether to
give the state authority to borrow the
SI.2SB in bonds, called general obligation
bonds, that will have to be paid back over a
period of years. And, the stipulations on
these bonds limit their use only to transportation related projects, according to Don
Baker, a senior transportation analysist with
the Department of Transportation.
To date there Is a long list of groups and
organizations that have come out in favor of
the bond issue, mainly labor groups. A
private citizens group called the "Vote Yes
Committee" has raised money and is working closely with the governor to educate and
publicize the bond issue referendum.
However, the bond docs have it opponents, including some environmental
g r o u p s , but most importantly the
Automobile Association of America has opposed the bill saying that the state is not spending enough of the monies that it lakes in
from the motorists for long term highway use
and bridge maintenance.
The' Association of General Contractors
had also been in opposition to the bond issue,
but after recent meetings with Ihe governor
they have changed their position to
favorable, according to Baker. "They (like
the AAA) were concerned about slate debt
and would like to see a dedicated fund for
stale transportation," he said.
A rundown of the proposed bond includes:
$1B to be used for highway, bridges and
commuter rail parking facilities; $170M for
bus, airport and other rail facilities; and
$75M for ports, waterways and canals.
Also included in the amount are monies to
be spent on Transportation Authority buses

The carbon dioxide buildup results primarily from burning fossil fuels.
"There arc no absolute ideas," he said.
"They only guide us lo prepare for a change
in Ihe same direction. If we lake all the
assumptions and models in ten years we
might have all new predictions," he concluded.
The carbon dioxide buildup is a slow process resulting primarily from the burning of
fossil fuels. This buildup, in lurn, causes
more evaporation, resulting in more clouds
thai prevent some radiation from leaving the
earth's atmosphere, according to Orvillc.
Seoll said the process, which has been going on for decades, will result in a slight rise
in atmospheric temperature. "How much 1
don't think anyone really knows. That wc
will have to wait and see," Scott said.
"There arc only a few ways thai wc can
control the increase in carbon dioxide into
ihe atmosphere. What we need is a
government-planned policy — not for what
will happen, but what may happen. There
should be a shift in energy usage toward more
clean and efficient usage. If wc could slow
down the burning of fossil fuels and start a
new energy mix program wc could slow down
jhe pollution rtfte of the atmosphere,"
Stewart suggested. Scott pointed out that
keeping fuel prices artificially high would
promote conservation and discourage burning of fossil fuels.
The increase In carbon dioxide in the environment will also increase the pace of
photosynthesis in plants. "This will enable
plants to produce at a higher rate with less
water," according to Scott.
"If wc step up agriculture — it would be
necessary for the U.S. lo do so — the U.S.
will be able lo produce enough food for
itself," added Stewart, although he pointed
out that there arc many other countries that
rely on food from the United Stales. Orvillc
said that if ihe predictions arc correct there
could possibly be a gradual movement of
America's present agricultural belt to Ihe
North.
The areas that arc close to freezing, according to Orvillc, will be affccied the worst.
"This is where you might see some change in
surface and water conditions if there is a rise
in temperature," he explained.
Orvillc noted thai limited data on the
phenomenon hampers research. "There is
presently no belter data available to work
with and thai is all wc have to go on."
Stewart, meanwhile, commented on the
future. "It appears thut wc cannot overcome
what wc have already done. But we can lake
steps lo belter prepare ourselves for whatever
Ihe future might bring. A good example of
looking at these predictions arc the
weathermen today who try to predict five
days ahead — and are having trouble."

Brenner performance marred by disturbances
By Deb Profefa
and Debbie Judge
Comedian David Brenner made his way
onstage after a 50-minutc delay in his performance Saturday night before a jam-packed
SUNYA gym. His hour-long routine — " I
don't think I have an act 'cause I don't," he
said — was presented for Parents' Weekend
by Speaker's Forum.
Clad in a black glittered suit, the slim
jokester launched into his rcpctoirc to be
confronted with disturbances from an uncomfortable, ovcrpackcd audience. Brenner
got his first laughs by toying with the
microphone as he joked, "I'm picking up an
airport," through the crackling mike, and
"I'd like to thank the band," referring to the
large, rock concert-style speakers that flanked the stage and hid him from the view of
those who found themselves jostled lo Ihc
wrong end of the bleachers.
"Do you see this?" he yelled over the
equipment lo the audience. "That's why you
can't sec me. I can't see them," he charged,
waving lo people obscured by speakers on Ihc
.opposite side.
Apparently, the audience could nol see silting there any longer, and began to descend
Ihc bleachers.
Undaunted by the noisy intrusion on his
story of men bothering one another in Ihc
shower, Brenner replied to a woman who
again protested she couldn't hear:
"Don't blame me, lady. I didn't build this
place. I only work here."
And as spectators continued deserting Ihc
side bleachers, he mused, "Look at this. . .
golta be Jewish people . . . "
The crowd roared.
According to Michelle Schwartz, chairperson of Speaker's Forum and the one granted
the chore of announcing repeated delays to a
wailing audience, only 2,790 of the 3,000
available scats were sold. An additional 210
seats were reserved for Alumni Association
members and the handicapped, and for complementary guests (Speaker's Forum
members and members of the Student
Association, which received five seats).
Admission to the performance was eight
dollars with a lax card — twice as much as
that changed for last year's Parents'
Weekend performance by Robert Klein.
Schwartz explained that Brenner received
$12,500 for his stint, with an additional
$1,000 to the agency which arranged his appearance.
Klein, in comparison, was.poid $7,500 for
his 1982 performance.
"I'd rather have paid $20 and have been
comfortable," said SUNYA student Licna
Malatesla, who attended the show with her
parents.
Schwartz said thai Ihegym was so crowded
because "people put coats in seals, didn't
move over. . .people were let in for
free. . .we didn't sell over 3,000 scats," she
maintained.
Bui Schwartz said later thai she couldn't
be sure the number of available seats she was
given was correct to begin with. "I don't
know if we ever had a crowd like that
before," she said.
The chairperson also said that 12 student
activities crew members, hired by the group
for crowd control, were letting their friends
in grails.
"They did nothing — they sat around.doing nothing," said Schwartz of the crew
members who were paid $5 an hour for I heir

use of smaller speakers, thai the stage should
be moved back, and, lo aboul 50 spectators'
delight, that those who couldn't sec from the

The lecture center area became an exposition of cralts, Information and
scientific displays, as SUNYA hosted Ita 12th Annual Community University
day, Saturday, Oct. 22, entitled "Science 83."
Sorroll Chesln, Vice-President of Finance and Business, and coordinator of
C.U. Day was pleased with the overall turnout, calling It "excellent," and giving
credit to the weather, not publicity, for the day's success. "If the weather la
good, we have a good day," said Chesln, "and no amount of public relations
can change this fact."
Chesln also credits the creation of a theme four years ago for Increasing the
turnout. "When we first began 12 years ago, we would have a general sort of
C.U. Day, with everyone doing a little bit," said Chesln, adding that the turnouts were small. "Adding a theme, concentrating on one subject, such as
science, has Increased turnout and the quality of the presentations," said
Chesln.
Chesln said that C.U. Day is a great way for people of the surrounding community to understand that the university Is not a "bunch of beer drinking kids.
It Is one of a number of things, such as Telethon, that builds a good relation
with the community."
The main event of the day was the MclDAS (Man Computer Interactive Data
System) Graphic Weather Display System. The system provides satellite views
of weather around the world as It occurs.
Along with the MclDAS system was the Lightning Detection System,

and Is the largest system of Its kind In the world.
According to Orville, the system took him four to five months to develop and
works In conjunction with the MclDAS to detect lightning activity anywhere on
the east const.
The two systems were presented In lecture center 7, providing a dramatic
picture of weather and forecasting techniques lor the large crowds assembled.
Coinciding with the atmospheric displays, the chemistry department
created chemical magic, with chemical transformations of sugar to growing
black substances and pyrotechnics, simulating volcanoes and small explosions.
Internationally known biologist Corrado Bagllonl spoke about the controversial cancer drug Interferon and the uses it may have treating sickness ranging
from cancer to the common cold.
Among other features were presentations by the math department, tracing
the reasons for the slow response of severly Injured soldiers In Vietnam to
treatment, a moon rock display wnicn tola or me use of the rocks in aiding
scientists to discover the origin of the moon, and a poster show, representing
current research and explaining the formula behind the Rubick's Cube.
Though science was the predominant theme, other groups such as PI Sigma
Epsllon, JSC-Hlllel, and African/Afro-/ norlcan Studies all had booths outside
ol the lecture centers, giving out Information and displaying Items of Importance ot each group.
"It's a great way to promote a group," said Steven Kelley, a pledging
member of Pi Sigma Epsllon. "We (Pi Sigma Epsllon) are able to better Inform
people about activities and membership details about which they might have
misconceptions."

spectrum of opinions on the subject of the
evaluation of teaching," said the report.
Faculty and administrators who use evaluations in making personnel decisions were interviewed by the committee. Three of the
committee members have served as department chairpersons, and have experience in
preparing evaluations.
The committee "determined that most of
the significant questions that underlie an
evaluation of teaching In a university can be
credibly answered only through a responsible
peer review," said the report. The report
went on to say that teacher evaluations have
for too long focused upon the single item of
student questlonaircs." The report said student opinion is "unique and essential," but
should only be one part of the evaluation.
While the policy gives peer review the
"central role" in teacher evaluations, it
leaves the "details of implementation" up to
each department.
Teacher evaluations should answer ques-
tions which "bear strongly on the evaluation
of teaching, and can be responsibly answered
only by peers," the report stated. Examples of
such questions include whether the courses
are challenging, comprehensive and up-todate, and whether "course assignments and
examinations allow for an adequate evaluation of students' performances."
Finally, on the subject of In-class evaluations, the report docs not encourage or
discourage the procedure. "Observation in

points are made in the report: that classroom
observation be made wilh the consent of the

The Internal Affairs Committee will interview SA Elections Commissioner Tom
Busby on Tuesday lo decide whether they
will propose that Council dismiss him,
Shapiro said.
Stony Brook stance
The president of the State University of
New York at Stony Brook has disassociated
the school's administration from a course
that equates Zionism with racism and
Nazism.
In a meeting there Oct. 18 with an official
of the Anti-Defamation League of B'Nai
B'rith, President John M. Marburgcr said
such a linkage, as advanced in a course entitled "The Politics of Race," is "morally
abhorrent."
Marburgcr told Rabbi Arthur Seltzer,
Long Island regional director of ADL, that
the Stony Brook administration would act
immediately lo "review courses of racial,
ethnic and religious sensitivity to insure the
proper balance in presentation between
academic freedom and academic responsibility."
"The Stony Brook administration,"
Marburger said, "absolutely divorces itself
from any view that links Zionism with
racism or Nazism. Furthermore, I find such
linkages morally abhorrent."
Marburger acted following a protest
lodged by ADL over the written syllabus
for the course, taught by Professor Ernest
Dubc, which specified "three forms of
racism: Nazism In Germany; Apartheid in
South Africa; and Zionism in Israel." The
syllabus then goes on lo stale: "Suggested
topics include 'Zionism is as much racism as
Nazism was racism."

Self-identity is the key to surviving break-ups
n v Fcllsa Gllckman
By Felisa Gllckman
Karen stood in her suitcroom staring at Ihe
door. Larry's words echoed in her cars:
"Karen, it's over between us. I think it's lime
we split u p . " She sat down on the floor and
began to cry. Karen had never before fell so
utterly alone.
One of the hardest things to do is lo survive the break up of a love
relationship. A break up is
emotionally draining and
painful. It is a'lime of confusion, anger, and disbelief.
Bui is is also a time of personal growth. It
is a period in one's life that requires
gentleness, nurturing, and honesty.
Rudy Nemscr, counseling coordinator of
Middle Earth, is planning a weekly workshop
on surviving the loss of a love. The group will
focus on the emotions and feeling a break up
causes, and explain Ihe process of rebuilding
your self-identity, said Nemscr.
A common notion people have is thai a
relationship makes you a whole person, a
functional person, or an attractive person.
It's as if being in a relationship makes you
worthwhile. Rudy Nemscr said Ihis is a
dangerous thing lo do. People often believe
thay they are nothing without (heir boy or
girlfriend, thai there is no life after a relationship breaks up. The largest pari of getting
over a break up is accepting thai these feelings or insecurity are unrealistic.
What arc the most -common reactions to a
break up? Ciuill, heartache and depression
are among them. Nemscr said feelings experienced In a break up are similar to Ihe
reactions when a loved one dies.
Death researcher Kubler-Ross defines five
stages a person passes through to cope wilh
the loss of a loved one. The stages are denial,
bargaining, anger and depression, and they
are relevant for Ih'osc dealing wilh the loss of
a love relationship.
Rarely do both parties In a couple mutually
decide to end their relationship. Usually one
party Is ready to say goodbye earlier than the
other. The one who was left often then denies

Earth
Roots
the
Ihe end of the relationship. Statements such
'I can't believe it's over," or "He Is just
angry, he'll be back" arc common."The person is so shocked that he or she really doesn't
believe Ihe relationship has ended.
The bargaining stage can be recognized by
statements such as "If she comes back, I promise I'll lose ten pouhds," or "I swear I'll go
lo all my classes if you give me one more
chance." It's as if the person is bargaining
for the continuation of the relationship.
Often during the bargaining stage, each
person feels guilty. The one who Initiates Ihe
break-up oflcn leaves because of another person. He or she feels guilty because they arc
thinking, "Here I am, happy with another
person, and I left her alone miserable." The
lcave?"This a common reaction. It is vital to
remember that when a person leaves a relationship, he Is probably doing what's best for
himself. It is in no way a reflection of the
other's Inadequacies. Rather, it means that
that person's needs have changed, and they
are simply not met by Ihe other mate.
The stage following anger Is depression.
Unfortunately, this is the hardest stage to get
through. It can last anywhere from one day
to a few years, depending on ihe personality
of the person. The best thing a person can do
is to not dwell on the past. The bcsl way to
help oneself is to try lo move on. It Is imporanl to see the relationship as an experience in that person's life which was
meaningful and fulfilling. But a person must
The most important thing is to realize
that you can get through the pain, you will
fall in love again, and you will be loved
again.
one who is left feels guilty because they are
thinking, "If 1 had only been more giving, or
nicer, or prettier, we'd still be together."
The next slagc, anger, is probably one of
Ihe healthiest stages of a break-up. It signifies
a period in which the person begins lo think
of himself with respect. S/he begins lo
believe s/he is Important enough to be both
loved and broken up wilh, with honesty and
gentleness. Often ihis is precisely what a person is angry about — Ihe manner in which
they were left.
When many people leave a relationship,
they are unsure of how lo do it. Instead of
dealing with it openly and honcslly wilh their
partner, they sneak out. The person who was
left starts thinking sclf-dcslruclive thoughts:
"What's wrong wilh me? What made her
also know when to move on and lo proceed
with one's own life.
Author Paula Siegcl has some advice for
people who are going through ihis difficult
period. First, she encourages making an effort to be social. This may help you forget
your troubles for a short lime. Second, be
kind lo yourself. Make an effort lo look your
best. You will feel better. You will realize you
can function on your own. You may realize
thai being alone isn't us bad as you thought.
Remember, "alone" isn't equivalent to
"lonely." Third, try to avoid additional
stress during this time. It's nol a good idea lo
take on new challenges or make life changes.
Give yoursell lime lo be pampered and time
to think. Don't drown yourself in a second
job. Fourth, get physically fit. If you already
arc, stay that way. Feeling and loi
looking

healthy will make you feel better about
yourself. It will heighten your self-concept.
Finally, remember there arc others who love
you. Lean on these people for emotional support. Let them know you're hurting, that
you're depressed, and let them help. Even if
helping means listening, or playing a game of
Scrabble.
The last stage in any break up is acceptance. You begin to accept that the relationship Is really over. Often a person begins to
sec tilings clearly in this stage. You may
realize that you are happier now that you
have broken up.
Rudy Nemscr cautions against working
toward a reconciliation. Don't get into a
physical fitness program because you think
he'll want you back if you're thinner. Do it
for yourself! And don't go back to a relationship unless you have good evidence that
things have changed. For instance, if your
boyfriend beats you, don't go back to him
unless you know that there will not be a
recurrancc. If he's told you twenty times
before that he won't hit you again, his word
is not enough. Be smart for yourself.
It's important lo nolc that both parties in
the reallionship go through these stages.
Doth grieve and hurl. Oflen the one who Initialed Ihe break up went through these stages
before leaving. By the lime of Ihe break up,
there is nothing left lo feel except relief. Try
to recognize though, that there will be fond
memories on both sides, and even If the relationship cannot continue, you have shared
something very special together.
Brcuking up is a long journey. It lukes
lime, energy, and gentleness. The most important thing is to realize that you can get
ihrough Ihe pain, you will Tall in love again,
and you will be loved again.
The workshop on breaking up will meet

Billy Taylor Comes To Albany
R

Styled by the likes of Art Tatum and Fats
Walker, Billy has mantalned himself as a
very versatile and eloquent performer. After
being Initially hired by Ben Webster In 1943,
he has gone on to solidify his reputation with
such musical giants as Dizzy Gillespie, Cozy
Cole, Roy Aldrldge and Don Redman.
Among his honors Is recognition by
Downbeat magazine as best pianist In the first
International Critics Award.
Dr. Taylor has been an outstanding Jazz
spokesman. In Ihe latest of his twelve books,
Jaa Piano, a Musical History, he states that
"Jazz has continued to be the music which
most consistently has expressed American
moods, thoughts and feelings. Jazz,
America's classical music, needs to be belter
understood by Americans."
Billy has been instrumental In bringing
about this understanding In many forums. As
founder of New York City's "Jazz Mobile,'
he has brought some of the best free Jazz to
New York and to at least fifteen other cities.
He has been Involved in radio and television

The guitar, bass and keyboards all blend
together to facilitate a non-dlstlnct sound. All
six members are credited with vocals.
Although no one player Is denoted as lead
vocalist, one voice dominates most of the
tracks. Each singer atlempts lo produce an
enigmatic mood sound a la Heaven 17 or
Yaz, but what he produces Is an emotionless
detached tone. Lyrically, the self-entitled
debut album Is an unqualified disaster. The
entire album Is dripping with cliches. There
Isn't a single original or Inventive verse on
the album.
The album begins with a song entitled
"Passion of Love." It seems lo be Boys
Brigade's attempt at Men at Work style pop,
but It Just doesn't have the catchy hooks of
that band. "Melody" continues Ihe stream ol
cliches. It starts with an echoed rhythm guitar
reminiscent of '60's "Spaghetti Westerns"
sound tracks. The lyrics are semi-chanted,
and at one point, two members sing, "He used to drink, he used to fight, he used to beat
her every night" like a pair of high school
cheerleaders. It sounds so ludicrous that It
turns out to be gruesomely funny.
"Exodus" provides a break In the sappy
lyrics, since it Is an Instrumental. It has an annoying, repeletive beat and I am sure it will
Inevitably be released as an extended dance
single, (there have been so many "extended

A T & T to release an extended dance single
of the busy signal). "Exodus" sounds faintly
reminiscent of Duran ^ I r a n ' s "Girls on
Film," as well as about a dozen other
popular dance songs. This Irack reminds me
of those nondescript songs you here when
watching disco scenes In television shows.
"Saigon" Is a vain attempt at social com
mentary. There Is, however, no real slate
ment made. The chorus Is "In Saigon, in
Saigon." Boys Brigade must think that just
mentioning a controversial subject is enough
to constitute social commentary.
"Africa" sounds like a techno-pop version
of the Toto song of the same name, with
lyrics like ". . .a, voice calling In the wind"
and ". . .ancient mysteries of Africa" laid
over a synthesizer background. One has to
wonder about any band who steals their
creative Ideas from Tolo.
The song "Mannequin" Is only worth
mentioning because that should have been
the name of Ihe band. The last song worlhy
of mention Is "Anger (The Hunter)." II sporls

the few times the bass can be clearly heard It

One of the best examples is: "1 am a huntei
and I will hunt her."
After a couple of listens, the songs on tinalbum blend together Into one confection,uv
lump of nothingness. There just Isn't one
song that really stands out. There seems u>
be a lack of any passion exhibited over Ihe
entire album. The sound Is fairly cohesive
but there Is no real chemistry among Ihe
members. They have no distinct sound ol
their own. Nothing on this album grabs the
listener's attention. The members o l Boys
Brigade could easily have been replaced by
studio musicians and the same sound would
have been created. They put too much emphasis on sounding like other bands, rather
than producing a Boys Brigade sound. Each
musician Is competent, but no one, with the
exception of drummer Blllle Brock, puts
much soul Into his playing. As far as creativity and commitment are concerned, Boys
Brigade has some growing up to do.

Jane Ira Bloom Sparkles
A
s of late there have been few new
ioprano sax players of note. Such
distinguished soprano giants as
Steve Lacy, John Coltrane and Wayne
Shorter have been the only major Influences
In these eclectic Jazz times. Yet there still remains a need for new talent to project fresher
approaches to a somewhat cllche-rldden Jazz
Idiom.
Jane Ira Bloom Is Just such an up-andcoming soprano talent to soothe this need.
Her latest and most powerful release, Mighty
Lights, Justly Intensifies this belief. Sensitivity, control and maturity far beyond Bloom's
years guide her sound masterfully
throughout each superb composition. A
natural continuum Is evident by her apparently effoilless phraslngs. This ease is best
exemplified by "Lost In the Stars," where she
charts a smooth course on this gentle, happy
ballad.
The expressiveness of Miss Bloom Is
enhanced greatly by the heralded veteran
rhythm duo of bassist Charlie Hayden and
drummer Ed Blackwell. They are In their
usual top form on / Got Rhythm but No
Melody and 2-5-1, the compositions In
which they are allowed the most freedom.
Their ability to expand and Ignite themes and
their knack for communicating freely have
become llielr trademarks. This style Is a joy
for any Jazz lover's ears. Their magnificence
helps fosli-r Bloom's flights of Imagination
and spontaneity which give each cut Its
energy.
An added attraction to this already lush
sound |s the work of pianist Fred Hersch. His
fine supportive playing, very much In the
tradition of the late Bill Evans, completes the
ensemble sound on his selective appearances. His finest effort Is on the surreal
bop tune "Change U p , " where his Interplay
with Bloom Is highly creative and his finest
rhythmic qualities are brought to the surface.
He is also tasteful and sensitive on the Bill
Evans Inspired cut "The Man With Glasses,"
and emotional yet beautifully controlled
piece. Hersch's fine supportive qualities
complement Bloom's sound In an economic
and intelligent manner.
It Is significant to mention that although
each Individual's efforts are sterling, the
sound is exceptional when they are brought
together In their ensemble. The truly arresting nature of Bloom's soprano playing
within the unit makes Mighty Lights an
album of note. Her Ideas are continually
fresh and vivid. Such special qualities are a
rarity In today's music market.
Her style Is melodic and expressive, yet In
this male-dominated Jazz world, she has
received little public recognition. With such a
fine effort as Mighty Lights, Jane Ira Bloom
has won the acceptance of critics, and will
hopefuly be accepted by the rest of the public
exclusively on the merits of her music.

Dear Freshman
Dear John,
I'm sorry to haue to write this. I hue you,
and I mean that, but it's just too hard to see
you now that you're away. I care about you
a lot but I can't haue a Song distance relationship like this.
I don't want to see you anymore.
suppose the Idea (or this article
really started with Jeff, and a question I asked him. Jeff is my
sophomore sultemate, wise in the ways of
the collegiate world, and since he was one of
Ihe only upperclassmen I knew personally, It
was logical that he should be the person 1 approached with Ihe question.
I
John Keenan
"Jeff," I asked casually one afternoon on
the way to lunch, "do you think a person
could date his old high school girlfriend all
the way through college?"
"No," Jeff answered.
That was quick. And It started me wondering: 1 mean, why was everybody so sure that
a frosh couple couldn't overcome the handicaps of being at different colleges, and still
continue to have a viable relationship? What
was the horrible bogey lurking somewhere In
the first semester lhat everyone was so sure
would separate me from the girl I know I
love? Growth? Distance? Inconvenience?
(All the other girls on campus?)
It's no secret to anyone attending college
that when the September following the
senior year of high school rolls around, a lot
of promises are made between couples who
are sure they love each other so much that
college will never separate them. It is also
widely recognized thai this is youthful inexperience speaking, and try as a couple may,
all of these promises have almost no chance
of being kept,
I was one of the unlucky jerks who let
himself fall in love during his senior year of
high school, a strategically unsound move
that I would be sure to regret if I weren't still
so wrapped up In this girl thai I have trouble
distinguishing her from "the future Mrs.
Keenan." It's lough to be in love in high
school, especially if you happen to be a
smart, college-bound senior, because it's
hard for smart, college-bound seniors to Ingnore the fact that the odds of maintaining a
relationship throughout the four-year
separation college represents
are
astronomical,
So you see where that left me: two months into my freshman year, still hopelessly in
love with a beautiful girl who lives 100 miles
away, just wondering when the breakup was
coming, and how completely It would
destroy me. Not a good frame of mind with
which to approach your midterms,
So what to do? Obviously, go out and
gather as much information as possible on
freshman relationships and what kept them
going or caused them to fail, and condense
that Information into an article for the ASP.
This article would then catch the eye of a
noted publisher who would, In turn, offer me
a two million-dollar contract to continue to
write such depressing stuff for his magazine,
Existentialism Weekly, and a two hundred
thousand-dollar advance for a first novel,
This would move me up' three or four Income brackets which, while doing little for
my love life, would lessen the pain of a
breakup somewhat.
So, onward.
The logical (iist step seemed to be Middle
Earth, the campus counseling center, There I
talked to Beth Collier, a counselor who often
deals with freshman difficulties In adjusting to
campus life.
"Breakups are common," I was told.
"Especially around Thanksgiving or the
winter break. In some colleges, the RA's are
trained to look for signs of depression
around these times."
Middle Earth sees a great many cases of
this kind, and Is currently running a
workshop to enable students to cope with
disintegrating relationships. "We get a lot of
calls on the hotline dealing with this problem, too," Ms. Collier added. "Our services
In general are geared to help new students
adjust, and this is often a large part of the adjustment."
1 left Middle Earlh a little less confused, but
still blissfully unadjusted. Maybe Beth Colier
had explained that I wasn't alone In the way 1
was feeling, bul she'd said very little about
why a breakup seemed so Inevitable.
My other stop was to the office of Martha
Fitch, who is the co-ordlnator of Genesis,
the campus sexual awareness center. Ms.
Fitch's view on the erosion of freshman relationships took four things Inlo account: convenience, maturity, timing and commitment,
in high school." Ms, Fitch stated, "things
have become a little bit too routine, and so
you view a relationship as an enhancement
to your life. However, In college, Ihe routine
you were so firmly established in is broken.
There's more to do; either schoolwork, activities, or parties, and if becomes harder and
harder. . .and less and less important. . .to
make time to see your old girlfriend or
boyfriend.
"For a relationship to survive college," Ms.
Fitch concluded, "there has to be a sincere
commitment on both sides to each other,
and an ability to recognize that commitment
as such.
"Most high school students are not emotionally mature enough to make that kind of
commitment,"
Growth, apparently, was a factor; the
development of new interests, the making of
new friends, the very social situations a new
freshman is bombarded with will, In most
cases, change his personality enough so that
Ihe promises made in September are worthless.
Depressing, no? But since Fitch's answer
seemed Indicative of the response 1 would
receive wherever I went.'l went hack to my
quad, sat down In my room, and for 37
minutes typed out the pages of work which
comprise what you've just finished reading
I'm silling here right now. trying to figure out
a way to end the damned thing.
This Isn't an intentionally depressing article; when I first began researching it. It's
main purpose was to help me cope If and
when I was faced with breaking up with a girl
1 love. I don't really believe Ms. Fitch's statement that most freshmen are too emotionally
Immature for commitment, but 1 do
recognize that a relationship can't be as
strong when two people are far apart.
My girlfriend called tonight and said she
loved me. She also mentioned a guy named
Eugene who was Interested in her, and
would 1 mind if. . .? *
Of course I wouldn't mind. I suppose In
the last analysis. It Is always Ihe freshman
who controls the relationship; with enough
belief, desperation, tenacity and, of course,
love, any relationship could conceivably last.
You can "love someone to death in high
school," as Martha Fitch puts It. Obviously,
(hat alone is not enough. What is required Is
commitment; something most freshmen are

U.S. role in Central America
I here are many students on out campus who have shown
a deep concern for out country's involvement in Central
America. Vet, there arc many more who have nol given
much thought l o the recent developments in that area. A
review o f recent articles in the New York Times leaves me
feeling Ihal It Is lime to lake a serious look at our governments' involvement in Carnal America.

Alexander F Ross
Ihc United Slates gcncrumcul has begun a project lo
link the centers of both Costa Rica and Honduras with their
respective borders on Nicaragua. Our government will supply National Guardsmen and materials for ihc purpose of
building roads through unused jungle to the Nicaragua!)
borders. There was never a need for roads through the
lunglc before. Why now?
Last week, Reagan administration officials said that the
C.I.A. recommended and helped plan recent rebel attacks
on an oil storage depot and other industrial sites inside
Nicaragua. Why are we Involved?
Our government recently held military maneuvers in
Honduras in coordination with Honduras troops. Our
government has set up training schools for Honduras
soldiers. For what reason?
At this moment there are -45,(XX) American soldiers in
Honduras. Our government says they are the c fiir training
pin poses. Why do 45,000 American Iroops need to train in
Honduras?
To Ihc Editor:
It's about time that the student association and Ihc
university community commit itself to solving a serious and
highly dangerous problem. I am referring to the Speaker's
Forum Presentation of David Brenner on Saturday October
22ml in Ihe gym.
What I found most outrageous and embarrassing was
that Speaker's Forum totally disregarded the issue of safety. The gym was packed beyond " n o r m a l " capacity and
many people were forced to sit in the aisles or on the floor.
As well, many people could not see Mr. Brenner because of
the elaborate speaker system whjch obstructed their view;
as a result, Ihe show had to be held-up until those people
were crammed onto the floor in front of the stage.
More importantly, a simple notice telling Ihc audience
where the fire cxils arc is not enough; adequate access must
be made available lo all and it simply was n o l . 1 defy any
member of Speaker's Forum to show me how 3,000 plus
people could be safely evacuated if a fire broke out. Would
a handicapped student feel confident about gelling out?
Because of these problems and delays the show started 50
minutes late. This, in itself, is very Inconsiderate because
oilier events scheduled for Community University Day had
in be delayed, causing further irritation and Inconvenience.
Recently the United Stales government has stepped up
efforts for a negotiated peace in Central America. Yet
along with this gesture we are continuing to undermine
peace initiatives with military activities. This past month
rebel attacks in Nicaragua were an indication that
American peace efforts may include a bloody solution. The
Nicaraguan government believes rebel sabotage may be an
attempt lo "create a border incident with Honduras that
would, in turn, create conditions to justify the use o f the
United Stales iroops (who are) on training exercises in the
area." (N. Y.Times Oct.17,1983)
Are these omens on our door slep? Are we heading for
another Vietnam? Be forewarned that a crushing military
victory in Nicaragua is not possible. If we attempt direct
American involvement Cuba would come to the aid of
Nicaragua. It would be a long and bloody confrontation
and American youth would surely die.
We have a voice in America. The voice of democracy, the
voice of justice. Let us be aware o f the facts, let us ask
questions, What exactly arc we doing in Central America?
Where arc we heading in Central America? How many
more Central American brothers and sisters must die before
there is peace?
I believe that it is the United Stales who can he the central figure in pulling tilings together in Central America,
just as the United States has been the central figure in making Central America what it is today. We should be aware
that our leaders make decisions that we might have to en-
force. Decisions that exact their toll in the unneeessan ,
unwarranted violence of war. As students we should n
up on the .situation, ask questions. As a country based
Ihc values of freedom and democracy, we should be
formed for our own sake and for the sake of the people

Clear the record
lo the Keillor:
The lead story of the A S F on Friday, October 21, concerned a suil filed by profesor Yu-Shih Chen. While the
reporter did a good job in describing a complex situation,
the story was inaccurate in some respects and I want to
clarify Ihc record.
First, the suil filed by Professor Chen is against SUNY
Chancellor Wharton, nol against the State University of
Nesv York at Albany. It arises from an extensive review
which was completed in June of this year of all of Ihc facts
in her case for reappointment, at ihc end o f which the
Chancellor found against Professor Chen.
In order to make clear why this hearing took place, it is
necessary to trace briefly the chronology of Ibis case. Professor Chen's contract with ihe University was nonrenewed in July of 1981. She grieved this decision on the
basis of alleged procedural Irregularities and inappropriate
criteria. Those issues were reviewed by a hearing officer on
the campus In September, 1981, and denied. A second appeal was taken at Ihe level o f SUNY Central and the hearing officer there rejected her appeal ill January, 1982. A
third appeal was taken by Dr. Chen to the Governor's Office o f Employee Relation and, after a substantial review o f
the entire case, that appeal was denied In July, 1982, with
the finding thai " . . . t h e gricvant was treated In a more than
fair manner by the campus. It is this reviewer's belief, based
on the whole record before him, which was extensively
reviewed both on and off campus, that at best the allegations surrounding this grievance are founded only on unsupported r u m o r s . "
ofispectS
In order to bring finality lo this matter which had now
gone on for more lhan a year, an agreement was reached
between Ihe Governor's Office of Employee Relations and
Dr. Chen that Chancellor Wharton would establish a
review committee of three persons and they would provide
a recommendation to him for his decision. It was further
agreed between Ihe parlies that his would be the final
disposition of Ihe case, without fulher appeal. The committee submitted its recommendation sustaining Ihe campus
decision and on June 13, 1983, the Chancellor accepted that
recommendation. Dr. Chen is now suing the Chancellor to
review ihc final action.
I believe it is important that the record be clear that this is
not a nesv issue and that Dr. Chen's allegations have been
reviewed several limes at length. The matter is now before a
court where il will receive appropriate consideration.

Alternative solution
To the Editor!
This is in response to the letter entitled "Cooperation
Please" in the Tuesday, October 18 issues. Lust year I
wrote a letter to the ASP pertaining to this same problem.
It obviously needs repealing. Although I feel thai Ms.
Kaufman's solution is a feasible one, it is certainly not the
best. I propose a solution that solves the problem jusi as
well but docs nol force on-campus, Alumni Quad, and offcampus students who are doing legislative internships to
walk down lo the Capital because they do nol possess a
W . A . B . card.
My proposal is a simple one. A l l .students svill board the
' first arriving'bus regardless o f their destination, Wellington
students boarding Alumni buses can gel o f f at Draper Hall.
When the Wellington Bus arrives at Draper, it will no
longer be chock full of Alumni and off-campus students.
Thus, ail Wellington students can board at Draper and continue peacefully und happily on their way.
Hopefully all bus drivers svill disregard W . A . B . cards
and everyone will get home quickly and safely.

Central Council manlier
Apparent bias
t o the Editor:
Upon receipt of a flyer yesterday from a Central Council
candidate 1 was puzzled by the appearance of the phrase
"Endorsed by President Rich Schaffer." Whal exactly is
the meaning o f this? Was our Student Association president's name used sviihoul his knowledge? 1 find this very
difficult lo believe as I am aware lhat all campaign material
must be copied in the SA-run contact office. This was
done, with or without his knowledge, and it is Ihe appearance of ibis phrase that I am questioning.
By this endorsement o f one candidate should we assume
lhat the other candidates arc incapable? I would hale to
believe that one candidate (of the thirty running for Central
Council from Ihe various quads and off-campus) merits Ihe
endorsement o f the SA president because they happen to be
close friends.
Were candidates for the other SA positions endorsed by
Rich Schaffer? Did we elect our SA president so lhat he
could tell us who his friends arc and Ihal we should vote for
them to fill the other SA positions? I was under the impression lhat the SA was obligated lo promote democracy and
hold fair, unbiased elections. A m I wrong?

False accusations
t o ihe Editor!
I read with ureal amusement the letter in Ihc ASP titled
"Rule violations." Several points in this letter need to be
clarified in order to calm some of the tensions on Alumni
Quad. As a former resident of Waterbury Hall and former
Central Council representative, 1 find it very unfortunate
Ihal the elections on Alumni were turned inlo a "general
circus" as Mr. Wilson refers lo it in his letter.
In M r . Wilsons second paragraph, lie mentions he was
quite appalled that I had endorsed Mr. Sinatra for Ihe Central Council seat on A l u m n i . Mr. Wilson feels that I was
nol fair to the other candidates and that il was my "last
ditch effort to secure a position for a f r i e n d " . M r . Wilson
should wake up and lake a good look at the real world.
Everyday, elected officials express their views on different
candidates and people think nothing of i l . In fact, 1 think it
Mr. Wilson wants to take issue with my endorsing candidates, lie should question his own endorsement and campaigning for a candidates in the past election. It is my
understanding that Mr. Wilson was elected lo serve this
ycot us Alumni Quad Hoard Secretary so I think i f Mr.
Wilson feels very strongly on endorsements, he should
practice what lie preaches.
Another point here is the fact thai because Mr. Wilson
lias considered my endorsement as a rule violation, many
students on Alumni think thai I have disobeyed Student
Association policy. Flrsl of all, there isn't any policy on endorsements, There is such a thing in the United States commonly referred lo as "Freedom of Choice." I think Mr.
Wilson needs an Intro lo Political Science course (I recommend Professor Mlroff) in order to brush up on his junior
varsity political thinking.
The other false rumor Ihal Mr. Wilson took the liberty 10
stari was the fact that I did not endorse other candidates for
Central Council. In fact, I supported candidates on Alumni, Colonial, Indian, and O f f Campus. I fell these people
were the most qualified for the positions due to their past
experience with Student Association.
Addressing M r . Wilson's other accusations seem almost
a waste of lime at Ibis point. His letter, up to this point, is
marred by inaccuracies and false rumors that he can nol
back up. 1 have to question his statements concerning the
election results when, in fact, I know that the Election Com
niissioner Tom Busby did nol know the results until
7:45p.m. (well after M r . Wilson's 7:00 rumor.) I f M r .
Wilson would have checked with Student Association, he
would have discovered thai Central Council chair Hob
llelhock had lo call all of the new council members to
notify them of a special meeting on Wednesday night. He
began this at thOOp.in. and Alumni (beginning with " A " )
came first lo call on Hob's list so M r . Sinatra was aware of
his victory at about SilMp.m. Il Is unfortunate that this had
to happen but it was Important for us to notify the new
members of their first meeting.
I think it is sad commentary that M r . Wilson feels m>
only area of judgement on candidates is friendship. I will
nol deny that this is not given consideration, but I have to
say lhat 1 look for experience. Mr. Sinatra is one of the best
people to represent Alumni Quad. His experience includes
Student Action committee, Stipend Policy Committee and
"Fight the H i k e " Rally Coordinator which I felt made him
Ihc best candidate, lor the position.
Tom Itusby did pile of the best jobs on this election, U n fortunately, Ihe Alumni elections will be run again due to a
problem with Ihe placement o f the booth on the Alden side
of the cafeteria. 1 am hoping that this election will be run
without many of M r . Wilson's false accusations. It would
benefit all those students on A l u m n i Quad who care.

Grenada's new military junta said.
Both the State Department and

they were unable to confirm the

which came one day after the new

The radio said the invaders took

Both campuses of St. George's

650 American students, are near
Point Salines. One campus is at the
end of the new airstrip, and about
300-400 Cubans working on the
Port Salines field have a barracks
overlooking the strip.
The radio said the Revolutionary
Military Council, which look power
after a bloody power struggle last
week, condemned the attack and
called on friendly nations to provide assistance.

Baaklini said most Lebanese reject
this I'm inula because it puts a
minority in the political majority.
Following the typical Reagan
doctrine, said Baaklini, the U.S.
decided that before the Gcmaycl
regime should negotiate with other
factions, it needed strength. Once
the U.S. was perceived as taking
sides, he said, Ihe murines lost their
credibility as a peace-keeping force
and became fair game as un clement
in Geniayel's army.
Baaklini
emphasized
that
the
kind of attack on the marine compound has been common among
factions on the left and right since
Ihe 1975-76 civil war.
"Evidence points lo a marginal
Lebanese Shiite faction," said
Baaklini, "which sees Khomeini as
ils natural leader."
He said he was sure that this
group, known as the "Party of
God," or the "New Islamic Revolution," lias received Iranian support,
bin whether they had been involved
in this incident, lie wasn't sure.
Baaklini said what had to be done
now was for Congress to assume its
responsibility — to ask what the
mission in Lebanon is and what it
should be.
Even the marines themselves, lie
said, are asking why (hey arc In
Lebanon.
" I f I am optimistic," lie said, " I
think public reaction will force a
different chain of events than in
Vietnam.
" I i is unfortunate thai innocent
people on both sides are being victimized by this simplistic policy,"
he added.

He said the bombing was " a horrifying reminder of the type of
enemy we face in many areas of the
world today — vicious, cowardly
and ruthless."
But House Speaker Thomas P.
O'Neill said Congress is "going to
have a complete review of why
we're there and whether it is worthwhile to keep our boys there for
diplomatic reasons."
Two options were reported under
consideration in Washington for
bolstering the Marines' position:
stationing the Marines on offshore
ships when they arc not on duty, or
expanding the territory controlled
by the Marines around Beirut.
World governments — from
Tunisia, to Belgium, to Sudan, to
West Germany - - deplored the
bloody bombings.
French President Francois Mitlerand, returning to Paris after a
visit to Beirut, said that France "remains and will remain faithful to its
engagement in Lebanon,"
Iran and Syria rejected U.S. suggestions that those countries were
behind Ihe twin terror bombings.
Both the Washington Post and CBS
News quoted unnamed U.S.
government sources as saying there
were indications that officials at Ihe
Iranian embassy in Beirut may have
known In advance about the bombing attacks,
On Sunday, an anonymous
telephone caller told the Beirut office of the French news service
Agcnce France-Pressc that Ihe
"Islamic
Revolutionary
Movement," a previously unknown
group, had carried out I he bombings. But on Monday a caller told
the French agency that "Islamic

group, was responsible.

the Lebanese state radio reported.
The meeting of representatives of
Lebanon's rival religious and
political factions is aimed at ending
years of civil war, a conflict touched off in large part by Moslem
demands that the Christian minority gives up its dominant political
role here.
This second group had claimed
responsibility for a similar carbomb attack last April on the U.S.
embassy in Beirut, in which 17
Americans and 32 other people
were killed.
Lebanese President
Amin
Gemayel told his cabinet that,
despite the bombings, he remained
determined to convene a scheduled
Lebanon's main civil way antagonists also denounced the bombings. A four-man committee of
representatives of the army and of
warring Christian, Druse and Shiite
Moslem militias said in a joint statement Monday that the bombings
were "an attempt lo stop the march
toward peace and reconciliation" in
Lebanon.

S) After months of Issuing
only forecasts, college placement
icers around the country have
wn more optimistic in recent
ks about students' job prospects
year.
'I think recruiting is going to be
by IS to 20 percent nationally
m last year," says Victor Linclst, placement director at Nor•estern University in Evanslon,
and author of the Endicotl
ort.a national survey of student
cements. "That's still down
m what it was two years ago,
ch less three years ago," he
. "I don't see any sudden turn,
s is going to be a gentle turn."
.indquist and others have little
d data on which to base their opIsm, but they take heart from
trickle of recruiters moving
k onto campuses as fall
uiting season starts. "The big
g is that we've been on a
nward curve for some time,"
Jack Shinglcton, Michigan
te University placement director
author of another annual nasi student job survey. "I think
ve bottomed out, and we've
ted back u p , " he says,
t would have been hard for stut job prospects to sink much
er. "I don't know how it could
any worse than it was in '83,"
dquist observes. "Hiring of
duatcs was off by 41 percent anally last year." Shinglcton says
number of firms recruiting at
chigan State is about the same as
t year, but that I he companies
n to hire more graduates this
c. "One of the Big L^ight Denting firms was telling me that it
planning to hire 10 percent
re people than last year," he
Sports.
*At the University of TexasjAustin, "it looks better than last
for sure," says Dr. Glen
hync, associate placement dirccftr at Texas' business school. "Last
tar 490 firms came to campus," he
|calls. "This year we're back up to
, and so far they're not canceling at nearly the rate they were last
far at this lime."
I One of five firms that signed up
recruit at the University of
alifornia-Bcrkcley last fall cancell, Berkeley placement head James
friggs says. He says the number of
chedulcd interviews is up slightly
his year, and the firms he's talked
are more confident. "People
(tally believe that we're in a
•covery," he says. "They're more
ptimistic, and companies antipatc a return to growth." "Last
Bar was the worst we'd seen since
he early seventies," concurs Don
jfood, education placement direcoi at the University of Northern
pwa. "This year remains difficult,
in recruitment is u p . "
The hard-hit energy industry's
tcruiting is still off. It hit bottom
•st year when Dallas-based
Iresser, Inc., a supplier of oil exiloration equipment that is ranked
Brd on the Fortune 500, told more
pan 100 Michigan State students
hat they had jobs, but then had to
pnege on the offers. "Those were
ntry-level jobs in remote, rural
j e a s , " explains James Papalexsls
If Dresser's personnel office.
"Rather than have people relocate
nd then impose reduction in the
lork force, we decided not to bring
pern on board." Dresser, which usI to hire about 800 new graduates
annually, still has " a few
pousand" employees laid off and
will keep this year's campus
Becruting "very limited," Papalex|is says.
Some energy firms, however, are
starting to show up again at Texas,
Payne says. Phillips, Gulf, Conoco
Ind Shell have returned after a
year's absence. Energy recruitment
"almost ceased to exist" last year,
Payne says. "Banks and accounting
came through the recession almost
like there wan't one." He observed
a minor slowdown in recruiting by
high technology companies. "IBM
had been sending 25 interviewers,"
he says. "Last year it was down to
about 12 or 15. It's back to 20 this
year."
The market for teachers still appears to be sluggish, despite the
rash of new proposals for higher
teacher salaries and more teacher
hiring. Yet, "the school population
is still declining, and budgets are
still tight," says Northern Iowa's
Wood. "I think that things will pick
up dramatically in a few years,
though. They have lo. So few people arc going inio eduealion, and
more children are coming along.
Already, enrollment is up for
kindergarten and first grade."
Berkeley's Briggs says some
recruiters arc returning with a
greater appreciation for liberal arls
majors. They show Increased in-
terest in hiring generalise, and arc
softening their formerly-strict requirements for technical training.
He says liberal arts majors are having good luck among management,
financial services and retailing
recruiters. But some of the placement officers' tentative optimism
rests on timing.
Llndquist, for example, believes
the 1984 presidential elections will
inspire "a lot of economic pump
priming in the next few months. If
we gel a sense of euphoria about the
economy out of (hat, it will improve
Reagan's chances, and it will Improve campus recruitment." "If
you really want a good handle on
what's going to happen, talk lo
(Federal Reserve Chairman) Paul
Vnlcker," I.indquist advises. "It's
going lo depend on whether the
basic industries perk up, and if we
see construction of new plants. It's
like dropping a pebble in a pond.
One of the ripples of economic
recovery is college recruitment,"

Adair of the University of
Oklahoma, "there simply cannot be
any alcohol on campus."
Town police have been spot
checking parties at Millersville State
College in Pennsylvania this fall,
hunting for under-aged drinkers
and enforcing the city's new noise
law.
Illinois State students now must
get permission from town officials
IS days before holding any outdoor
parties.' Then they have to have
security guards at the parlies.
Marquette, Michigan officials
passed a tough new noise and litter
ordinance designed to control parties on and near the Norlhern
Michigan University campus.
"We're seeing a real turnaround in
the way alcohol is being viewed not
only by administrators, bul by
students themselves," says Gerardo
Gonzalez, president or BACCHUS,
a national group aimed at controlling sludcnl drinking. "More and
more schools are integrating new
policies to limit drinking, and show
ihat alcohol doesn't have to be an
inherent part of college life," he
reports.
The control efforts began In
earnest on many campuses during
Ihe 1982-83 academic year, and
have accelerated since as more
states raise their legal drinking ages
and more college towns are emboldened to try to control student
noise. Roughly half the states now
have drinking ages set at I.I, compared to 20 states a year ago,
Several other "21 slates" have also
closed loopholes that allowed
18-year-olds to drink wine and beer.
Arizona and Ohio arc cuncntly
considering raising Ihcir legal drinking ages to 21, Bingaman says.
Bingaman remains opposed to Ihc
laws and external controls. "We
feel education and enfotccment of
existing laws arc the answers, not
singling out college students as being loo irresponsible lo drink."

"We're nil for" controlling
drinking, says Bob Bingaman, head
of Ihc Stale Student Association in
Washington, D.C., which coordinates stale sludent activities
around the nation and also helped
Kansas and Georgia students ward
off drinking age hikes last spring.
"But students ure responsible
enough to sensitize themselves
without having legislatures making
decisions for them," he argues.
Both legislators and school administrators are making those decisions nevertheless, and al an increasing pace over the last year.
Maryland, Oklahoma, Arizona
State, Alabama, Virginia, St.
Bonaventure and many others have
simply banned drinking on at least
parts of their campuses. Fraternities
like those at Kentucky and North
Dakota State voluntarily have
begun dry rushes and special
alcohol-free activities. At Loyola
College of Maryland, students must
now don special wrist bands to get
liquor at campus parties. Students
caught violating the new policy —
by giving a wristband to an underaged drinker, for example — can be
kicked out of student housing.
When the University of
Maryland's under-aged population
"plummeted from only 25 percent
of the (sludent body) lo over 60 pcrccnl this year, we just decided to
put an end to all drinking on campus, rather than try to deal with all
the enforcement p r o b l e m s , "
reporls Sandy Ncvcrell, the assistant resident life director. "Since
the majority of students can'l legally drink anyway," adds Anonu

in conjunction with Jewish Theological
Seminary of America
brings good results, and keeps the
people away who only come for the
free beer anyway," observes
Jonathan Brant, head of the National Interfraternity Conference. Il
also shows "that fraternities are
something besides beer busts," he
added. Not all student groups are
happy about the way schools are
going about controlling student
drinking, however.

Sun Francisco
(AP) Officials are investigating a
University of Florida leaching
hospital that allegedly treated an
AIDS victim as " a medical
outcast" by "dumping" him In San
Francisco for outpatient treatment
about two weeks before his death.
Florida Gov. Hob Graham is
looking into the actions of Shands
Hospital in Gainesville, which sent
27-year-old Morgan MacDonald
away 16 days ago because il said he
no longer needed hospital care for
the immune system disorder. MacDonald died Thursday.
San Francisco Mayor Dianne
Feinsiein and Dr. Mcrvyn Silverman, lite city's director of health,
said Ihcy were outraged over
Shands' treatment of MacDonald.
Shands, which said it had treated
MacDonald for 2 and a half months
and concluded he was ready for
outpatient care, chartered a jet and
sent a physician and social worker
to accompany him lo San Francisco,
He was taken immediately lo San
Francisco General Hospital's
special care unit for AIDS patients,
the first of its kind in the nation
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome is a disease that strips the
body of its ability to fight infections. Il is frequently fatal and is
most likely to strike homosexuals,
Haitians, abusers of injectable
drugs and hemophiliacs. Of 2,416
reported AIDS cases in the United
States, 287 are In San Francisco, according lo Dr. Tim Piland of the city Health Department.
MacDonald was listed in poor
condition when he arrived in San
Francisco and steadily deteriorated.
"There was real doubt from the
time he was dropped off. . .that he
was ever going to be coming out of
the hospital," Silverman said.
"There's a lot of callousness
associated with this transfer. It's
not really a transfer al all. They just
dumped him. At Ihe very least, Ihcy
showed medical ruisjudgmenl," he
added.
Michelle Davis, associate director
of public relations at Shands, said
MacDonald had stayed at Shands
for 2 and a half months and was
discharged because "the medical
staff felt he was able lo be treated in
an outpatient clinic. We've treated
many AIDS patients and would not
have discharged him if we felt he
needed hospital care."

Tom gets three-year contract
Los Angeles
(AP) Tommy Lasorda says "1983
was a rewarding year for all o f u s "
in the Los Angeles Dodgers'
organization. He g o t ' an u n precedented reward Thursday for
his performance this season - a
three-year contract with the club. It
was the first multiycar contract ever
given a manager by the O'Malley
f a m i l y , first the late Walter
O'Malley and now his son, Peter.
Even Walter Alston worked his
23 managerial seasons with the
Dodgers under a string of one-year
agreements.
Although the financial terms o f
Lasorda's new contract were not
announced, it is believed to include
a substantial raise over the $230,000
he made this past season.
" O u r policy was not set in cement," said O'Malley o f the switch
to a mutltiyear contract
for the
manager. " T o m m y ' s a special, very
talented man.

The Danes responded with three

with the victory that enabled them
to improve their record to 7-6-I.
Kidder said, " I t was a fun game.
We played around with the ball a
little too much, but we did have
some beautiful passing sequences.
We spent the whole week on our

Tomorrow, Albany travels to

" W e ' r e capable o f beating them,

The Danes arc looking forward
to the remainder o f the season. Kidder feels the " b a d things arc going

Lasorda guided the young and
frequently troubled 1983 club to the
National League West title, the
fourth divisional crown in his seven
years at the helm.
Lasorda said the three-year contract wasn't exactly the result of
hard bargaining on his part.

OCTOBER 25,1983 O ALBANY
ALBANY STUDENT PRESS 11 OCTOBER 25,1983
Men
(ASP) Surprised by a much Improved RPI
team and running,at much less than full
strength, the Albany State men's crosscountry team finished third in the 1983
Capital District Championships held on
Albany's 5.05-mile course last Saturday.
Division I Siena College took first with the
low score of 28 points. RPI was second with
47 points. Albany got third with 56 points,
and Union totaled 106 points.
In contrast to last year's relatively
pedestrian pace, this year's "Capitaland
Classic" was a very fast race from start to
finish. Dane runners led for the first half
mile, but after that, Siena's front runners
took over and set the pace all the way to the
line. The leaders' mile splits were the fastest
on the Albany course this year: one mile,
4:57; two miles, 10:05; three miles, 15:10.
Said Dane captain Chris Callaci, "We were
out fast, but somewhere around the threemile mark Dan Hnrteau (Siena) tossed in a
sub-live minute mile and that was that."
Harteau and teammate Dom Colosc, who
was credited with the win for scoring purposes, finished together and were clocked at
25:51.2. RPI's first man, Steve Shattil was
the only other runner who could hang onto
the Siena duo. His time of 25:54 gave him
third place with room to spare.
The Danes' top runners were surprised by
' the pace of the middle miles, but ran with the
competition and kept it close. This effort
produced many of the season's best individual marks as five of Albany's top six
runners ran best ever times on their home
course.
Conspicuous among these was sophomore
Ian Clements, whose time of 26:18 slashed
his personal best record by a full 36 seconds.
That finish placed Clements sixth overall and
first for Albany, as well as moving his name
up among those of the all-time top twenty
finishes on the home course. Unfortunately,
Clements was not able to catch RPI's number
two runner, Scott LeMay, who finished fifth
in 26:16. Said Callaci, "Usually we've got Ed
capture third in Capital Districts
McGill up there with Ian, but he was forced
to sit this one out because of a chest cold and,
of course, that hurt us. Everybody else ran it
hard."
These others included Callaci himself. The
Junior ran consistent splits to finish a close
eighth in 26:23 and bettered his best-ever
mark by forty seconds. Said Clements,
"Chris has been very consistent all along. I'm
not surprised he ran so well and I dare say he
hasn't peaked yet."
The other outstanding Dane performance
came from sophomore Chuck Bronncr whose
quick time of 26:36 lowered his best by 47
seconds. The effort earned Bronncr eleventh
place overall right behind RPI's third
finisher.
Looking to get back on his mid-season
pace, junior Captain Jim Erwln ran 26:49,
"close to his best lime on the Albany course,
but suffered the same fate that Bronncr did.
As Albany's fourth man, Erwln finished one
place behind RPIs fourth runner. The pattern repeated farther back where junior Tom
Kacandcs, the Danes' fifth runner, ran 27:27
and broke his best-ever mark by eight
seconds, but still finished behind RPI's fifth
man.
Colose and Harteau strung out the race
early enough so that Ihc Siena-Albany contest was never in question, but the idea of
having lost the struggle with RPI formed
slowly in the tired minds of the Albany runners after the race. Said Head Coach Bob
Munscy, "RPI ran exceptionally well and
they just beat us head to head."
Last year the Engineers beat (he Danes by
only one point. Explained Bronncr, "We
figured that since we had improved we would
beat them." Kacandcs added,"A bunch of
our guys had super races, but at the same
time RPI is an improved team and they had
one of their best races all season. I talked to
Scott LeMay, RPI's number two, after the
race, and he was surprised at how well they
ran, so I guess we picked the wrong day to
run them." An anonymous epigram written

It was the kind of game that Albany Head
Coach Bill Schicffelin had been expecting of
his team for a long time. Maybe even all year.
Saturday afternoon on University Field,
the Albany State men's soccer team defeated
Vassar College, 2-0. More importantly, the
Danes put togelhcr 90 minutes of very solid
soccer for one of the few limes this year.
The offense clicked for two second half
goals, but for Ihc first time in several games
they created numerous scoring opportunities.
The defense, including goaltendcr Tom Merrill, kept Vassar in cheek and chalked up
Albany's fourth shutout on Ihe season. "It
was," Schicffelin said, "the best we've looked in a very long time,"
Second half goals by forward Tihan
I'resbic (his seventh) and midfielder Jeff
llackctt (his fourth) sparked the Albany offense, as the Danes were able to score more
than one goal for Ihe first lime since a 3-1 win
over Brockport October I. That span covered
live games.
Prcsbie's goal came with his buck lo the
net from a very lough angle. He turned and
fired a shot inside the near post for his teamleading seventh of the year and a 1-0 Albany
lead,
A few minutes later, llackctt scored what
Schicffelin termed "probably the nicest goal
of the year." Forward John Shields took a
pass in the middle of the field and (licked it
wilh his heel to llackctt, who put a shot Into
the lower left hand corner for his fourth goal
of 1983.
Although ihc Albany offense was

STAFF WHITER
Showing drastic improvement, the Albany
State women's cross country team upset RPI
in Saturday's Capital District meet, 26 to 29.
The victory gave the women their first win of
the year.
To defeat RPI, a team that beat Albany
earlier this season, almost every runner had
lo improve. Albany's fastest three runners all
achieved personal bests: Lynn Jacobs, 18:44;
co-captain Karen Kurlhy, 18:49; and Maura
Mahon,19:52. Kurlhy, who finished first
overall, recorded the 37th fastest time ever on
the Albany course. Being a transfer, Jacobs'
performance went unrecorded.
The narrow victory could have been a
tough loss if it weren't for junior Erma
George. With less than a mile to go, George
was surrounded by three RPI runners. Showing great determination, George outduclcd

among Albany runners. She bettered her personal record by 48 seconds with her time of

"This race has lo be Erma's finest performance of her college career," said Albany

Danes lose to Norwich Cadets on final drive, 31-27

First, Milano hit wide receiver Pete
McGrath on a fly pattern for 41 yards.
Milano then threw an arching pass to Bob
Bricn, who reached over his defender to haul
in a 14-yard touchdown reception with 24
seconds in the half.
The Danes, thankful to be down by only
two points at halftime, came out in'thc second half looking to make grounds for their
sloppy first two quarters.
On the first possession, Albany put
together a classic 80-yard, four minute
touchdown drive concluding with a 5-yard
keeper by'Milano. The big play in the drive
was Brien's patented reverse option pass,
completed to light end Bill Banagan for 31
yards.
The Danes' 13-9 lead didn't last long as
another Dane turnover led to a Cadet Score.
Running back John Dunham coughed up the
hall after gaining five yards, giving Norwich
possession at their own 43.
It took five plays for the Cadets lo go 57
yards and regain the lead, 16-13. Brooks
plowed Ihrcc yards for Ihc score with 8:13 left
in the third.
The see-saw battle continued when the
freshman Benjamin took the ensuing kickofl
64 yards to the Norwich 35. On Ihe second
play from scrimmage, running back Dana
Mclvin galloped 33 yards for a touchdown In
the one of the most impressive power runs by
a Dane back this year. The sophomore broke
two tackles along the way before reaching Ihc
end/one with 9:11 left in the third.
Albany State extended the 20-16 lead to
27-16 when Dunham's seven yard touchdown
run capped a 69-yard drive.
It was at this point when Norwich began
their comeback which sent the Danes down
to defeat and gave the Cadets their first win
at University Field.
" A lot of firsts ihis year," said a dejected
Ford in the Dane lockcrroom afterwards.
"Heck, we're 2-5."

The four-way meet was in actuality, a dual
meet between RPI and Albany. Union and
Siena came with incomplete (cams, fielding
four and three runners, respectively.
Two women who gave courageous performances were co-captain Belle Dzamba and
sophomore Donna Burnham. Dzamba overcame a leg injury lo finish fifth overall while
Burnham successfully returned from a twomonth layoff lo come in tenth.
Dzamba, who finished one second behind
Mahon, almost dropped out of the race at the
halfway mark. Though limping heavily, she
managed lo finish the race in a respectable
time. "Bette really did her part to win,"
noted White. "She showed what a true competitor she really is."
The meet also established the seven.runners that would go on lo the State Championship at Hamilton Ihis weekend. Kurlhy,
Mahon, Dzamba, George, Kim Patch and
Chris Varley qualified for Ihe meet; Varley
was the only runner thai wasn't expected to
qualify. "Chris usually runs ninth or tenth,"
said White, "so for her to come in seventh is
an outstanding accomplishment."
Varley improved upon her personal best by
an astounding 2:13, finishing in 21:51. Having never ran cross country before this year,
Varley's feat is even more noteworthy. " I
really didn't expect to be going lo Ihe stale

which turned Vassar away on a couple of
close chances in the first half when the game
was still scoreless.
Merritt made one diving save to his right
on a shot from 35 yards out, and made a sensational save a few minutes later, diving to
his left and tipping a shot away that was
headed for the lower right hand corner.
"Tommy played his best game all year,"
Schicffelin said. "He was called on to make a
couple of trying saves in the first half, and he
responded. He was coming off his line and
being very aggressive. I think his being aggressive intimidated some of their players into missing their shots."
The win upped Albany's record lo 5-7 on
Ihe year. However, despite not qualifying for
Ihc SUNYAC Playoffs and not reaching Ihe
.500 mark for Ihe second straight year, things
are beginning to look up for Schicffelin and
his team.
For one thing, Ihis years' group consists of
only three seniors who will not return for

Seras and Sheldon both won their weight
classes 163 and 114.5 respectively while two

Both Seras and Theofilatos are entertaining thoughts of competing in Ihc 1984

After elimination in the main draw, Ihc

where they whipped Siena before losing lo
Skidmorc in Ihree sets. Coach Warner was
quick to praise Iter successful team.
"It was just beautiful. They were great at
the net and played Ihc best tennis I've ever
seen them play." Chapter one of the Dane
success story was complete.
Chapter Iwo saw first singles Mindy Hartstein get a first round bye only lo find herself
matched against number five seeded Julie
Miller of Union. After beating Hartstein 6-0,
6-4, in u lough match, Miller went on later lo
win Ihc whole tournament. In Ihe consolation rounds, Hartstein got her revenge
wreaking havoc in three consecutive matches.
Round one saw a 6-2, 6-3 thrashing of Stony
Brook. Round two saw Sue Gclchel of
Russell Sage fall in three sets 4-6, 6-4, 6-4.
Next came Diane Serenson of Binghamlon
who was rouled 6-1,6-0. In the fourth round,
a physically drained Hartstein fell 6-3, 6-4 to
Karen Carlilvitz, an excellent player who was
ranked seventh. "She was very good today."
Commenled Coach Warner, "She had some
bad luck in the draw (meeting number five
Miller) but Mindy fought back and really
made me happy."

received a first round by and then met

• After 51 points had been scored in this
constant momentum-changing offensive battic between Norwich and Albany state, the
game boiled down to one final drive.
Down 27-24, the Cadets, marching 60
yards downficld in the closing minutes, converted two crucial fourth down situations into first downs, and scored the winning
touchdown with under a minute remaining
on an eight-yard pass to stage a thrilling come
from behind, 31-27 victory, spoiling Albany
State's Homecoming game at University
Field.
Quarterback Tony Cirelli completed the
game-winning touchdown to Travis Donnelly, who reached across his body to grab the
poorly thrown pass, with 47 seconds remaining in Ihc contest handing the Danes their
fifth loss in seven games while the 4-3 Cadets
broke a three game losing slide.
"It was a bad pass," said Cirelli, who
wasn't sure if he was even going to start
because of his inconsistent play of late. "
Donnely reached back and got It. It was a
super cotch."
Cirelli probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to throw the pass if It weren't for
the success of the critical fourth down plays
that sustained the drive.
On fourth down and inches at the Albany
State 39 with 3:20 to play, Cirelli fumbled the
snap but was able to pick the ball off the
grass and lunge forward just enough for the
first down.
Three plays later on fourth and nine at the
Danes 37, Cirelli found Dean Aldomar over
the middle good for 11 yards and another
first down at the 26.
"We stop those two fourth down plays and
we get the ball back only needing one first
down of our own for a victory," said Albany
Head Coach Bob Ford.
Another 13-yard pass to Aldomar advanced the ball to the 10, where on second and
goal Cirelli completed the game-winner.
The Danes had two more possessions after
the score but two of quarterback Milano's
hail-mary bomb throws were picked off.

Washington, D.C.
(AP) President Reagan charged the Soviet
Union on Thursday night with fostering the
violence in both Lebanon and Grenada
"through a network of surrogates and terrorists." He said a Cuban occupation of
Grenada was planned, and "We got there
just in time."
Reagan said the island nation invaded by
U.S. and Caribbean forces on Tuesday was
"a Soviet-Cuban colony being readied as a
major military bastion to export terror and
undermine democracy."
The president said the foremost mission of
the American forces was to guarantee the
safety of U.S. citizens. "The nightmare of
our hostages in Iran must never be
repeated," he declared.
Reagan also vowed that those responsible
for the bombing in Beirut that killed 225
Marines and sailors "must be dealt justice.
They will be."
In a televised address to the the nation,
PUBLISHED
AT THE STATE
Reagan said, "The events in Lebanon and
Grenada, though oceans apart, are closely
related. Not only has Moscow assisted and
encouraged the violence in both countries,
but it provides direct support through a network of surrogates and terrorists."
"It is no coincidence that when the thugs
tried to wrest control over Grenada, there
were 30 Soviet advisers and hundreds of
Cuban military and paramilitary forces on
the island," Reagan said.
"Two hours ago," said the president, "wc

The president devoted most of his address
to his explanation of why American forces remain in Lebanon despite the heavy loss of
lives.
But he declared the Invasion of Grenada a
"brilliant operation," that thwarted a
takeover of the Caribbean outpost by the
Castro government.
Reagan said the United Stales had initially
assumed that several hundred Cubans working on an airport runway on the southern
part of the island could be military reservists.
"As it turned out, the number was much
larger and they were a military force,"
Reagan said. "Six hundred have been taken
prisoner and we have discovered a complete
base with weapons and communications
equipment which makes it clear a Cuban occupation of the island had been planned."
